Re: Battlefield 1 is not launching, tried everything

if you look at the crash report log with Windows Event Viewer, it might be useful

    @HUN_gattaca_lgThank you for replying to my post. I forgot to say that I'm on Windows 11 if that matters

    Event viewer did not pick-up anything when I tried opening bf1 when the thing from the video I sent is happening.

    However, I managed to recreate the problem I had at first (BF1 staying as a background program trying to launch until it crashed [something I forgot to mention in the first post was that I could actually open and play BF1 when this was happening but I had to restart my laptop and immediately open BF1 before any other program which I wasn't willing to do every time I felt like playing the game]) by running the game as administrator, disabling fullscreen optimizations, and setting the compatibility mode to windows 8.

    This one actually had event viewer record something when I opened BF1.

    Here are the 2 results I got on  event viewer when opening BF1:

    I tried doing what I can such as running DISM restore health on the command prompt and turning on DX12 but to no avail, I encountered another problem on the game:

    I launch the game and then check task manager for BF1

    It stays as a background process in the task manager

    It still does the memory going up and then dropping to 500-700 mb memory when it reaches 1.1k-1.4k mb memory thingy for a few minutes

    The new thing now is that CPU usage of bf1 suddenly drops from about 8%-6% to 0% and then it freezes the memory usage in place

    I had to end task BF1 to be able to try running it again, this is the crash dump when I terminated the app, it's a .dmp file

    and also, I can't open BF1 at all now even if I restart my laptop.

    I managed to fix the issue by doing these, it also sped up the launching time of BF1 and kept it at it's highest performance.

    This is what I did:

    Uninstall BF1 from steam and then delete the Battlefield 1 folder in C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battlefield 1

    Delete the Battlefield 1 folder from the Documents folder

    Update my graphics driver once again

    Once Battlefield 1 downloads, restart my laptop

    Run BF1

    Thank you to @HUN_gattaca_lg for replying to my initial post
